Today’s the day when Anne Robinson takes over from Nick Hewer to become the sixth host of channel 4’s show: Countdown.
A visit to the studio proved that she’s already making herself at home. During the visit, the interviewer asked: “You are the first woman to present the show in 39 years of it. When that said, how does that make you feel?” To which Anne Robinson replied: “It made me feel crossed because we should be past being surprised that it’s a woman doing a job, shouldn’t we?”
“If you’ve got the brains, why does it matter whether you’re male or female, and I know that you’re more likely to have the brains if you’re female.” After many questions, do you think Anne Robinson really cares what other people think? Of course, she knows when and how to make her limits clear by giving her opinion in an implicit, but understandable way. What about you? Would you opt for this kind of attitude towards those who question your steps and decisions?
She confirmes that nowadays, she can only say half of the things she used to because, in the last three years, political correctness and wokeness has arrived. The tweeting and the outrage would make it impossible.
Programs, where the whole point of it was insulting people for 45 minutes, are no longer perceived as before. But Anne Robinson says she’s as horrible as she has ever been in real life. This fact puts program makers in a nervous state.
Anne Robinson becomes a heroine rather than a hostess. She makes her opinions on being a woman in this role very apparent. And what do you think of this empowered woman being completely transparent in front of and behind the cameras?
